Unified Communications & Collaboration

Lower costs and improve control with deployment options that fit your needs.Today’s unified communications and collaboration technologies provide enterprises with new ways to get work done. This includes the ability to deliver social and mobile collaboration across communities regardless of location or device so that co-workers, partners, vendors, and customers can share knowledge using email, voice, instant messaging or social communities.

Many IT teams are struggling to respond to this business expectation. The reality is that many enterprises desire to use the latest technologies, but lack the resources to make it happen on budget without disrupting the business – research shows only 23% of enterprises are using the latest collaboration and messaging applications and surprisingly 29% have access to the latest technologies but have not deployed it in a production environment. The deployment, integration and management of these technologies requires specialist skills and investment. Meeting compliance and security requirements adds to the complexity and expense.
